Retro, Bring it back Options

[914.SBC]

I think Porsche should come out with a retro model 914. I mean the Camaro, Challenger and Mustang have taken off big time. Dodge is even coming out with a retro Dart from what I hear.

How cool would it be if they made a retro 914. Hell they probably would all be 6 cylinders at least. Can you imagine what it would look like. I bet it would be pricy.

The Boxster run will die. Even if they refresh it, it will become a tired line.

The problem with a new 914 is that the cars are just too small. I thought the new CRZ would be a huge hit, but the size is just off.

Porsche is also selling a ton of 4 doors these days.

The only shot I see of a Porsche 914 is another cobranded VW offering.

I thought the CRZ would be a huge hit as well, However they are only offering a hybrid model at the moment.. If they would just put in a regular 125HP 1.6L engine in as a "base" model they would sell quite a few of those IMHO. However there are still some serious issues with that car and many modern cars. they are designed for style and not practicality. the biggest issue with the CRZ in my opinion (asside from low performance for the money) is looking through the rear view mirror. If you have ever been in a CRX one of the main draw points is its practicality, you look in the rear view mirror or turn your head around to merge and you can see everything! The CRZ has a HUGE blind spot! They need a base model, and an SI model to really sell that car. They are not being serious with that CRZ chassis they have at the moment. I mean seriously? 40mpg on the smallest hybrid availible? Give it a standard motor, the car will do that with a standard motor and all the hybrid gizmo's removed (weight savings).
